Zaphod’s speed Rhettro
Rhettro: LOL!!!! No, I’m not baking any gingersnaps for Thanksgiving, but now that you mention it, I might make them for our Christmas party in a few weeks. :-D
EssBee and Rhettro: Sorry for making you hungry so early, but the members of my AmeriCorps service team are getting together tomorrow for a team Thanksgiving dinner, before we disperse to various places on the actual day. That’s why I’m cooking now.
Butternut squash, pumpkin, and brownie pan were all acquired tonight, plus a pan for the squash. Turns out I need a second can of evaporated milk to cook the squash with. If there isn’t another usable one already in the kitchen, I’m going out again tomorrow. Sigh.
Good night, mush.
Sounds like you have a kitchen full of different kinds of mush, Amy.
I just got back from recording a LLAP and just hanging with Dan & Cj, which was a lot of fun. Very cool people. I really have to go back and listen to their old episodes.
My goodness a woman who likes Gauntlet and Smash TV..almost as rare as hen’s teeth.
Morning Pan, another sprinkling of snow to replace yesterdays sprinkling of snow…brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
early morning / late evening pan
Small baby waking me up early on the west coast
Trying to contribute more soon as baby has hit 6 months
Jake In ca
btw got iPod touch so darn wordpress moderator does not “see” me yet
You’re free from murgatory, Jake! Good to see you round here again. Congrats on the young un.
Jack: Yes, I do have a kitchen full of different kinds of mush. Currently, there’s sweet-potato mush in a glass baking dish and pumpkin mush in a can. Today I get to spend much of the afternoon turning the butternut squash into mush with the help of a cheese grater.
Hi there, Jake!
Hiya Jake!
Wow it’s a few hours later and big bro has started my day for me.
Yawning through starting my day
Welcome Jake.
Hey, Jake!
CW: Last night’s SNL. “If I take one more drink, I’m gonna end up lovin’ you” – Ludicris and T-Pain
Morning Pan, sunny and (almost warm) here in the foothills. Now to pretend I want to do some work.
My husband, knowing I have a few errands to run later today, goes “I don’t suppose you are going anywhere near Sentry Box?” I wasn’t but am now.
for those not in the know, Sentry Box is Canada’s largest gaming and SF/F book store http://www.sentrybox.com/
It’s never a chore to go there :)
Grating butternut squash takes FOREVER. My right hand and left arm are going to be SO sore in the morning. I’m really looking forward to the actual meal, though. :-)
The E8400 is a nice processor. It’s what I’m running now in the unplanned rebuild I did a couple of months ago. It’s about 3x as fast, but only uses half the power of the AMD that it replaced. That old machine could scramble eggs from the heat. Not so much the new one, but I’ve learned to live without that bit of functionality.
Van, I saw you comment about podcasts that you can’t subscribe to in Itunes. I take that you mean ones that aren’t listed in the Itunes music store. If so, you can actually add any RSS podcast feed via cut and paste. I’m not at my main machine right now, so I can’t check exactly how to do it. But, I have had to use it to subscribe to several shows. (Actually, I find it easier to do that than to search through the Itunes store anyway).
Ah, it is as I remembered. It’s under the “Advanced” menu. You should see “subscribe to podcast” as an option and you will get a dialog box. Cut and past the RSS feed url from your browswer and paste it into the box. As long as the author has a properly formatted RSS feed, you should see the list of episodes in your podcast section.
I made eggs, bacon, biscuits, and gravy for my hubby and kids for breakfast and homemade chili and etc. last night. My house smells of yum and yet, I’m pretty sure Amy’s house smells better. So, I need directions so I can go eat at Amy’s now.
I hear Olivia Newton-John singing “Physical” in the other room where my husband is on his computer. I’m really not sure if I want to know what he’s doing in there.
I hope all of you are having a great Sunday!
Sorry to hear about your pc problems Ditto. Do you have it on a surge protector? Maybe an surge protector / ups may be needed.
Back from neighbors’ townhouse, taking a break. Butternut squash mush is in the oven over there, and pumpkin pie mush is in a bowl on the counter. I’m about to take the sweet potato mush over to the townhouse where the main course will be served.
Cj: :-) It would smell good in here if not for the fact that we’ve had both the front and back doors open all day, for the cross-breeze. My house is in Florida, on the beach in between Orlando and Miami.
Off to check on pumpkin pie. Dinner starts soon! Yay!
Good luck to all of Amy’s mush :)
I just came by to introduce you to your new overlord:
http://www.deviceguru.com/scientists-add-emotions-to-robotic-head/
Just got back from seeing this guy in Stockton on Tees:

Great gig and nice theatre that was built in 1766..thankfully the toilet facilities had been improved over the intervening years.
Ed I was talking about downloading podcasts direct to the iphone over a wifi link without using another computer. The new firmware allows this but it’s so limited I’ll doubt I will use it much in future.
You know, I’m looking for a new phone when my contract comes up in March. Why is it, with all everyone knows about phones and tech and wifi and such, nobody can make a phone that doesn’t feature some major gimpage? It’d be one thing if every phone sucked at the same thing, but no. The iPhone is supposed to be the Holy Grail(tm), yet blows it on things like MMS that other phones have been doing for many years.
Maybe I should just go get a string and a couple of cans.
But enough of that!
The kids are off to San Antonio with my parents for the week until we go for Thanksgiving. So, the wife and I took the opportunity to catch the new Bond film at the matinee. Definitely enjoyed it (much more so than “The Dark Knight”). I would recommend renting the previous one and watching it again if you haven’t seen it in a while. This new one really keys off of a lot from Casino Royale.
And, we did get to see the new Star Trek preview as well. DAMN!!!! I know that people can cut trailers to make the crappiest movie look like must see material, but I can’t help but get excited about the new Trek movie.
You know, one negative about the new Bond movie. I don’t know what they were going for, but that had to be one of the worst opening songs in the franchise’s history.
Ed: I have difficulty imagining a worse theme song than “Die Another Day.” (Didn’t actually see the movie, but know that song – was it at the beginning of the movie, or did it play over the end credits?)
All three kinds of mush I made received at least one compliment, so I’d say my first independent Thanksgiving cooking attempts were a triumph. I’m making a note here on the Deadpan boards: HUGE SUCCESS!
;-) :-D
(Hey, Jack was the one who mentioned robot overlords… :-D)
Great news, Ambassador! Good for you and your mush and your Americorp compadres. And for our new robot overlords.
Energizer Bunny, I hope you picked a good d20.
Ed, we discussed the new Trek trailer on Long Long and Prosper last night. The episode is out already (those guys don’t mess around)!
http://www.lovelongandprosper.com/podcast/?p=142
I am flabbergasted. I watched “Lost Cities of the Amazon” on the NG channel. It always bugged that we labeled so many societies as “primitive”. Yes, they may be primitive in certain respects but in others….. Well, the ancient Amazonians created an amazing soil called terra preta. This soil, in a region notorious for truly awful soil, has supported 3 fruit harvests a year for 1000 years. It’s incredibly stable soil. It’s 6 feet deep. If you put all the areas together, it would cover an area the size of France. And, we have no idea how to duplicate it. Primitive indeed. If we ever figure out how to duplicate this, it would revolutionize agriculture around the world.
Jack, we know you just made the show better. You are welcome back anytime.
Ed, I am pretty sure few people are as excited about the new Trek trailer as I am. I think I’ve watched it 10 or 15 times now. It’s hawt! I can’t wait.
I went to Target and bought a pine fresh smelling candle. Now my house smells like a tree. I’ve had about 2 hours of sleep, so I’m off to kiss the kids and head to bed early tonight.
Morning Pan,
I’m surprised nobody hasn’t claimed the Amazonians weren’t taught to make tetra preta by aliens…they usually do when some ancient culture did something that modern day humans can’t explain easily.
Work calls..meh!
If you have nude photos of your significant other on your mobile phone you had better not leave it at MacDonalds:

Well, I doubt there’s much danger of The Smarty Hotties going to a McDonalds.
Morning Pan!
Bunny’s on limping duty today as she stepped in some glass yesterday. I now get to go out today and replace a kitchen carpet, three kitchen towels, and a sock.
Cj: That’s probably true.
Van: That’s funny.
Ed: SNAP! :)
TEB: Sorry to hear about that. I know how much that hurts.
Morning, Deadpan!
Short week ahead for me, yay!
Hey guys. tis the season
http://www.childsplaycharity.org/
ATW: Body of Lies
16 other people in the cinema
Stores are now open. Off to buy new items to repair the damage from yesterday’s carnage, mayhem, and blood loss :)
Yikes, that is NOT a lucky rabbit’s foot. I hope it wasn’t too bad, TEB. No stitches?
Gosh thanks, Cj. It was definitely fun listening to that episode again. You guys do have great onpod chemistry.
TEB: Ouch! I’m sorry to hear about that. Yesterday, after a second person painfully stubbed (probably fractured) her left little toe on the couch near the bottom of the stairs, my roommate and her friend finally rearranged the furniture so that the end table is the first thing at the bottom of the stairs, reducing the chances of it happening again.
EssBee: Short week for me, too! Yay!
Film was a snoozefest, Ridley Scott is certainly losing his touch.
Back from the store. Also had a blood test done (not related to the injury). No stitches, Jack but there was an awful lot of blood. My hubby patched me up nicely. Maybe even too much.
Mummy TEB?
Eeeeek!
On reflection a Mummy Bunny scans better.
How was the film, Van?
Look up Essbee
OH! Snoozefest – enough said.
We watched Speed Racer yesterday. I liked it. I’ve been thinking since watching it about Jack’s on-pod question about little girls and movies like that one, though. Do little girls see Trixie and think that’s their only option? Or do they want to be Speed? What does that teach us?
Day three of vacation tabs:
0 words written for new book
Broken drivers side window still not fixed
Nothing on new podcast recorded
I have however:
Gotten through all three seasons of Dexter for the third time
Watched Home of the Brave for the second time and recognized more local places it was shot
Got through the opening cutscene of Zelda.
I guess I should come to terms with the sentiment that the words “vacation” and “productive” aren’t necessarily mutual.
eewwww! “Productive vacation”. Who wants one of those?
CP; Robot High School – TWIS 2008 Music Compilation
Afternoon Pan, working a 1/2 day here, so pretty much just got in. Ultrasound appointment this late morning-all looks pretty good. I think we’ve settled on Iris for first name. I did say that it’s a girl on the Deadpan board at some point, no?
Congrats, JB! Iris is a great name!
CP- “It was 20 Years Ago Today” Podcast Episode #132 “Mystery Science Theatre 3000″
Iris is a very pretty name; brings nice pictures in the mind.
Man, 20 years! I can say I’m an original fan, I watched on KTMA, after all. Used to have “City on Fire” on VHS but it is lost to the ages by now.
I have an autographed copy of Kevin Murphy’s “A Year at the Movies” which I won at a screening of the locally produced movie called “Purple Haze.”
And I had sushi a few years back with Bill Corbett, and earlier this year was at the “First of May” Coulton concert with him.
Congratulations JB.
CP: Concerto Grosso En R? Mineur Op. 6-10 – Allegro – George Frideric Handel
CP: Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me “Podcast”
Well that was certainly a mouthful TEB.
Of course, I guess I already outed myself as a WWDTM “Podcast” listener in “Really Big Things,” didn’t I?
So one for the blokes. One of the signs that you are getting on in years is that you start losing hairs on your shins. If your shins are as smooth as a baby’s bottom….
ok, Van, censoring my first three thoughts… ;)
We get some Stank on January 17th here in the Twin Cities…
JB ???
TEB proves that she knows which one’s Haydn – and which one’s Handel. And I agree about the productive vacation. . .
I have to confess that I’m not familiar with WWDTM, but yeah, I really don’t listen to anyone. And JB — Iris Maki has a nice ring to it.
CP: Ouverture No. 3 – Air – Johann Sebastian Bach
Something less of “a mouthful”
Well, much like Fox, it’s Zeppernick-Maki, thus a mercifully short first name…
Middle name, I like Amber, Darcy leans toward… Well, phonetically, “Fay,” though we aren’t necessarily thinking of spelling it that way. Possibly “Fey”
Phey? :)
CP: Scheherazade, symphonic suite, Op. 35: No. 3, “The Young Prince and the young Princess” in G major – Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov
Okay, now you’re just looking for the longest track names…
No, JB actually I’m not. Classical music just seems to have stupidly long names.
If it helps, now listening to Ouverture No. 3 – Bourree – Johann Sebastian Bach
Oops, didn’t notice the query above. That would be Sigler Stank on Jan 17…
Provided Iris isn’t a month premature, I’ll be going. I had a bunch of guest voices on RBT, and he’ll be the fifth I’ve met in person…
Fifth? I think fifth, let’s see…
1-Jack Mangan
2-Mike Mennenga
3-Tee Morris
4-Evo Terra
Yeah, fifth.
Oops, no, sixth, almost forgot Alvie…
I would like to know at what future date Dub is posting from as S3 of Dexter hasn’t finished yet (episode 9 of S3 dropped this week).
CP: Ouverture – Overture (Suite) No. 2 – Polonaise – Double – Johann Sebastian Bach
I seem to have a lot of Bach in my shuffle right now.
I could never get into Dexter. I think I’m just a little too squeamish. We watched the first episode and said that was enough.
Now I never found ‘The Machinist’ to be scary. Amazing what Christian Bale did to himself for that movie, enjoyed the plot and the ‘twist’ ending..but scary..no.
No, Van? I thought it was.
I’ve always found Christian Bale creepy, though, since American Psycho. That was one of the scariest books I’ve ever read, and the film was just spine-tingly.
I can’t see Bale as creepy, I can’t forget him as a boy in “Empire of the Sun…”
It must just be me, but I found American Psycho fairly unmemorable.
Must peel potatoes and put roast in the oven.
I’m going to watch the season finale of True Blood.
Amazon.co.uk was rather strange this week. I had ordered a present for the ex (still on speaking terms..go figure) and got an email from them saying the release date was delayed to feb 09.
So after deciding on a new present to get, another email arrived saying the item I originally ordered was on it’s way.
Don’t you just lurve the lack of communication between departments in big companies…
Can you tell us what you ordered, Van? Or do you worry that she’ll lurk in and the surprise will be spoiled?
RE: Christian Bale. I think I first saw him in “Velvet Goldmine” with Ewan McGregor, which ends up as a Batman/Obi-Wan Kenobi slash. . . .
LOL
“Velvet Goldmine” suddenly seems much more interesting to me.
Nothing exciting, she is a Buffy fan and it’s the third collection of the S8 buffy comic.
What a tease with the latest Clone Wars cartoon. Just when you think a hated character is dead…
Oh and I’m sure the animators stuck a tardis interior in part.
..in one of the buildings.
Maybe that Tardis can take Star Wars back to 1996, when it was still immaculate.
JB: Congratulations! I love the name Iris.
Jack, Vanamonde: NEEERRRDS! :-D (It’s a compliment, guys.)
Home from work. About to go and see if there are any leftovers from yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner. Afterward, planning on writing.
Congrats on the new little one on the way, JB.
Pheigh?
Well, there’s nothing like an upgrade to turn an expensive printer into a paper weight. Grrrrrr.
Iris is a beautiful name. Yay for babies! Congratulations!
OK – podcast related comment here:
I have a silly, simple recording task for someone, if they’re up for it.
Also – I’d love to get some “10 years meme” recordings from some of you guys (look above for comments from JohnBoze, Rhettro, Smarty Hotties, etc).
SP: Live Moshang jam with Chris Bailey on guitar. Digging this.
http://moshang.net/soundjeweler_blog/?p=162
Goodnight, Amy’s mushes.
Morning Pan, another cold day..fire and heating is on and my hands are still cold.
On thinking about the ’10 years meme’, I realise I seem to have a gap where my 20′s are concerned.
Yeah, I’m trying to fathom a 34-year gap, myself.
Morning, Pan. Just a half day today then I’m done for the week. I’ll probably be pretty spotty over the long holiday weekend as I’ll be out of town.
This year, I’m thankful for, among other things, this most excellent community.
Morning Pan!
Not a bad morning at +7 C. Hopefully it will be even better when the sun comes up.
My request for the day:
Because most of us use pseudonyms, if you are trying to get a hold of me in the outside world, i.e. through Linked-In, Skype, Facebook, etc., you might want to mention in your message who you are in a name I might recognize (deadpan name). I have a tendency to either ignore or reject contacts if I don’t immediately recognize the name *gives Dubshack the evil eye* Sometimes I just don’t want to think that hard to figure out our connection :)
Gee, you’d think our province was doomed the way they report it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBLhEoBTAnc
For TEB and Essbee the codewords for facebook are :
Gloomy Castle
Bunny, if your newsreader’s name is “Hurlburt”, you are doomed.
Morning, everyone! I’m up and feeling thankful for lots of things today. As predicted, the sun came up once again.
The sun hasn’t come up here, yet. Maybe we are doomed ;)
Van, that brings up 254 people!
Gloomy? Like Eeyore?
It brings up 5 for me – 3 groups and two people in Calgary.
Gotcha! Although, I’m not sure what to think when there’s a 13% chance I’m male :(
Err no…it’s my profile photo.
And I can’t find Essbee use the iPhone browser.
There, I opened all the blinds and curtains in the house. I’m hoping the sun will take the hint.
EssBee can be linked through my friends. Kris O.
Your friends list doesn’t showup in the iPhone Browser.
Gotcha, Van.
I sent her full name on your “wall”
Never mind. EssBee found you ;)
Okay, were going with Iris Fey at the moment.
Fey, adj, Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality
Yup, I’ve been gotchaed twice today…
I think there just might be the possibility I see a little pink in the horizon. Maybe we’re not so doomed after all.
So Van, is this where I insert the comment about being “gotchaed” by two females?
JB: a magical flower. I like that picture in the mind.
CL: Sound Opinions “Podcast” (C’mon don’t get down on me, I don’t have time to listen to this stuff when it’s on-air…)
Jim DeRogatis just compared Axl Rose to Elton John, favorably.
One 87% female and one 98% female . . .
Tarred and feathered?
CP: yesterday’s Rachel Maddow Show (audio)
Interesting comment about U.S. bailouts. People who take showers BEFORE they go to work get government bailouts. People who must take showers AFTER work (steelworkers, autoworkers) don’t get anything.
Wait a minute! I take my shower in the morning. I want my government money, then!
Oh, yeah, Van, I think my male side and your male side should gang up on on EssBee’s :)
Okay, now CL: GeekIntertainment #82
Uh, but this is over 3hrs 17min, so I may not listen to it all in one sitting…
Yeah, the sun is up. Am now able to shut off the light in my office (obviously I face east).
There goes any notion that you are from Venus TEB…
Rigel 7, Van.
Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!
ditto, ditto :)
ditto, do you find drinking coffee has its perks?
Just make sure you don’t spill any down your wife’s shirt. It may make her hot under the collar.
Is coffee part of your daily grind?
Make sure you don’t take anybody else’s coffee. Nobody likes a “mugging”.
Coffee has bean the grounds of many a heated and strong discussion
If you work at an automotive shop, is coffee considered break fluid?
Ok, I’m done.
CP: Disposable Heroes – Metallica
Go, ditto, go! How’s the new computer?
are computers gateway drugs?
All I know is that strong coffee is international news. You’ll find strong coffee in the French press, for instance…
“The Little Engine That Could” for the computer age: “I think icon, I think icon…”
